问题 The eye of the hurricane is______.
Which of the following statements is true?
选项 A、A storm surge is a dramatic increase in wind velocity.
B、A hurricane watch is more serious than a hurricane warning.
C、Falling air pressure is an indicator that the storm is increasing in intensity.
D、It is safe to go outside once the eye has arrived.
答案C
解析 A项不正确，根据最后一段倒数第三句话"People living in low-lying areas are wise to evacuate their houses because of the storm surge，which is a large rush of water that may come ashore with the storm"可知storm surge是指水而不是风。B项不正确，根据最后一段开头的描述，飓风可能登陆时先在—个较大的可能范围内进行hurricane watch，然后在可能着陆点 hurricane warning，可以看出hurricane warning 比 hurricane watch 更严重。根据第三段最后一句"People often lose their lives by leaving shelter when the eye has arrived，only to be caught it tremendous winds again when the eye has passed"，当风眼来临时人们如果走出房间会被风眼过去后的大风吹死，所以说在风眼来临时走出房间是不安全的，D项也不正确。虽然文章中没有直接说，但通过排除法可以知道只有C项是正确的。
